Cover art

With the help from Larry, the nice guy that runs OF Blog og the Fallen and a great source for new and interesting books, I found out about a new artist, Alejandro Terán. Checking out his works I was absolutely impressed and I have added a new artist on my favorite list.

Alejandro Terán was born in 1974 in Leon, Spain. He studied at the Arts College of Salamanca and has won many prizes. Above you can see the cover art made by Alejandro Terán for the books: "Libros de Sangre" ("Books of Blood") by Clive Barker, "A Punta de Espada" ("Swordspoint") by Ellen Kushner and "La Espada del Destino" ("The Sword of Destiny") by Andrzej Sapkowski. Be sure to check his website for more great works.

Later edit: I must apologize because due to a misunderstanding I made a mistake regarding the artwork for the Andrzej Sapkowski's "La Espada del Destino" ("The Sword of Destiny"). The artwork is made by Alejandro Colucci and the lettering by Alejandro Teran.
